Each year, the University of Melbourne’s Veterinary Hospital sees over 17,000 patients. Of these, around 2,000 animals are seen at the Equine Centre.
In this episode of Visions we look at the work of the Centre and its unique relationship with the Diamond Valley Donkey Shelter. The partnership provides veterinary care for the donkeys, and a valuable hands-on training opportunity for vet students.
